Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of power supply equipment maintenance technology, and in particular to a foreign object removal device for power distribution equipment. Background Technology
[0002] High-voltage equipment is a crucial component of power transmission and distribution, and is a vital piece of equipment in the power industry. It is essential to ensure that its operating environment is reasonable and standardized, preventing power outages caused by external factors. For example, equipment in outdoor substations is susceptible to interference from external objects, especially during summer when small shrubs and other difficult-to-remove debris can grow rapidly in the equipment area. Additionally, floating debris poses a risk of falling into the equipment area, easily affecting the safe and stable operation of the power equipment.
[0003] Historically, cleaning has often been done using levers and insulating rods, but this method is notoriously difficult, time-consuming, and prone to causing debris to detach. Conventional cleaning tools have encountered numerous problems in practical use, such as insufficient cleaning, reliance on manual operation, and the need for multiple tools to work together, increasing both time and complexity. When using conventional tools, one person can only control a maximum of two tools simultaneously, with limited precision; requiring multiple people to work together increases labor costs and poses safety hazards. The difficulty in coordinating tools and the high labor intensity make the entire operation time-consuming, laborious, and inefficient, not only requiring extended work hours and posing safety risks but also potentially reducing power supply reliability.
[0004] The aforementioned defects have long plagued on-site cleanup workers, creating potential safety hazards. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a new type of cleanup tool that is simple in structure, fully functional, easy to use, labor-saving, and safe and reliable, addressing the shortcomings of existing technologies. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a foreign object cleaning device for power distribution equipment, which is simple in structure, safe and reliable, highly versatile and easy to operate.
[0006] In one aspect, the present invention provides a foreign matter removal device for power distribution equipment, comprising:
[0007] An insulating rod, with a remote control attached to one end;
[0008] A steel pipe is connected to the other end of the insulating rod. Main locking brackets extend from both sides of the steel pipe, and a movable tree clamp is provided at the top of the steel pipe.
[0009] A base is fixedly mounted on the steel pipe. The base contains a rechargeable battery, a remote control receiving circuit, and a connecting rod drive motor. The remote control receiving circuit is used to receive signals from the remote control to control the connecting rod drive motor.
[0010] The lifting mechanism is connected at one end to the drive motor of the connecting rod;
[0011] A cutting device is connected to the other end of the lifting mechanism and moves under the control of the lifting mechanism. At least a slider assembly and a saw blade are provided on it.
[0012] The housing is fixed to the main body locking bracket and covers the front of the cutting device, while exposing the saw blade inside the cutting device; a sliding groove is provided inside to cooperate with the slider assembly of the motor cutting device;
[0013] The movable tree clamp is connected to the lifting mechanism, and its opening and closing are controlled by the lifting mechanism.
[0014] Preferably, the lifting mechanism includes:
[0015] A pusher connecting rod, one end of which is connected to the connecting rod drive motor;
[0016] The first link connects the push connecting rod and the tree clamp, and controls the opening and closing of the tree clamp by moving it.
[0017] The intermediate connector has one end connected to the push connecting rod and the other end connected to two stacked first double-ear push rods and second double-ear push rods.
[0018] Preferably, the cutting device further includes:
[0019] The switching control mechanism is fixed at one end to the second double-ear push rod and at the other end to a U-shaped bracket; the switching control mechanism is equipped with a cutting motor and a remote control receiving circuit.
[0020] The slider assembly is fixed to both sides of the U-shaped bracket and cooperates with the corresponding sliding groove inside the housing;
[0021] The saw blade is located on the lower side of the U-shaped bracket and is connected to the output shaft of the cutting motor via a gear assembly through a rotating shaft.
[0022] Preferably, a charging port is provided on the base, and the charging port is connected to a battery charging module for charging the rechargeable battery; the rechargeable battery supplies power to the connecting rod drive motor, the cutting motor and the remote control receiving circuit.
[0023] Preferably, the insulating rod is a telescopic insulating rod assembled from multiple sections.
[0024] Implementing the embodiments of the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0025] This invention provides a foreign object cleaning device for power distribution equipment. By adopting an insulating rod structure, it is equipped with a remotely controllable collection and cutting mechanism, which ensures both flexibility and convenience while also ensuring the safety and reliability of the equipment.
[0026] The embodiments of the present invention have a simple structure, comprehensive functions, and strong operability. They realize intelligent electrification of acquisition (grabbing) and cutting operations, solve the defects of traditional tools that are not easy to coordinate in acquisition and cutting, have strong versatility, and low production costs. Through electric control, they have high precision, reduce the labor intensity of workers, improve efficiency and reliability, and ensure the safety of the operation process.
[0027] This invention employs a combined harvesting and cutting method, achieving integrated harvesting and cutting to meet the needs of single-person operation. It overcomes the shortcomings of traditional conventional cleaning tools, such as lack of adjustability and incomplete functionality, thus achieving the goal of "harvesting and cutting in one." The housing is detachable; if certain components inside the harvesting mechanism housing are damaged, normal operation can be restored simply by disassembling and replacing the damaged components. The structure is simple, maintenance is convenient, and it is safe and reliable.
[0028] This invention is applicable to the cutting of small branches and weeds in different live-line scenarios. The length of the insulating rod is adjustable to meet the safety distance requirements of various live-line clearing operations. It fundamentally eliminates the power outage time during obstacle clearing, improves the safe and reliable operation of the power grid, and can be widely promoted for use around outdoor live-line equipment in substations nationwide. It has great practical value and promotional significance. Attached Figure Description
